Word origin
The word 'pallid' originates from the Latin word 'pallidus', which means pale or wan. It is derived from 'pallo', meaning 'to be pale'. Over time, the term evolved into 'pallid' in Middle French as 'pallide', retaining its meaning of lack of color, particularly in reference to complexion. The usage of 'pallid' in English dates back to the early 17th century, and the comparative form 'pallider' has emerged colloquially to describe something or someone that is paler than another. This word has often been used in literature, conveying nuances of weakness, illness, or a ghostly appearance.
